Book Title: Force of Nature
Author: Thomas Hager
Selection Statement:
“Force of Nature” is the autobiography of Linus Pauling, a Caltech professor who was awarded Nobel Prizes for Chemistry in 1954 and Peace in 1963. His scientific journey inspired me to choose Caltech as my graduate school. I was impressed by how he combined different disciplines to create modern chemistry. This aspect also gave me motivation to work at the interface between chemistry and biology.
